It is not i5

I will suggest here to get Xeon E3-1245 V3 as hyper threading will be useful in video editing.

or else i7 k as it can be overclocked

Buddy you gave me suggestion along back about saving and I am following it right here.Thanks.

Intel Xeon E3 1225 V3 15.9K
Gigabyte H87-D3H @ 7.9K
Kingston RipjawX 8GB X 2 1600MHz @ 9K
Samsung Series 840 128GB SSD @ 7.3K
WD Caviar Vlue 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6 Gbps HDD @ 4K
Corsair Carbide 400R @ 5.4K
Seasonic SS-750JS PSU @ 6K

Sapphire R9 290 4GB GDDR5 @ 33.8K (Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R9 290 4 GB DDR5 Graphics Card - Sapphire: Flipkart.com)

Rest are your choice. But the core components should be these much powerful for a 100K + budget config.

Where????

Buddy, I think you were not able to understand that was a typo as I have given a link on the same line, showing the price is 34.4K. Stop spamming.

The flipkart link was not loading that time. Anyway, sorry. I am not spamming at all.

if op want to overclock later ,get i7 4770k else get xeon e3 1245v3.

I would like to overclock so maybe i'll go with
1)i7-4770k
2)Asus Z87 Pro
3)Logitech 105 and 400
4)Seasonic M12ii 650.

1) And i have a few doubts should i go with 2, 4gb sticks or 1, 8gb sticks which is better?
2) Would Samsung 840 PRO 256GB be a better buy or a Samsung 840 PRO 256GB coupled with a Seagate barracuda 2tb be better. If its Samsung 840 PRO 256GB then i need some more space but just adding an HDD wouldn't it disturb my budget?
3)Now another doubt few have suggested a R9 280x while few R9 290. Currently R9 290 is a beast but it costs around 34k while R9 280x around 24k Is the extra 10k really worth it or should i use the 10k for a future upgrade?
4) And coming to the monitor wouldn't BenQ XL2420TE be a good option or am i asking for too much within the budget?
5) And now the really difficult part which case do i buy every one of your suggestion is a different one. I really did like the looks of a few of them especially the NZXT Phantom 410 .

We are suggesting, R9 290, not 290X. Though 280X is an attractive buy due to the price and a viable option for current games @ 1080P, it has already started showing its age. In most recent games, R9 280X can't max out at 1080P setting and provide 50+ FPS. So get R9 290 by spending 10K more since you have a very good budget. It will last longer and for next two years, I think it will be able to handle 1080P gaming properly as currently it can handle even 1440P or 1600P (2560X1440 or 2560X1600) gaming.

>> Get 2 X 8gb Stick.

>> Its your choice to get whether 128gb or 256gb SSD ,it would mainly for OS and applications

>> are you kidding ? that monitor costs around 32-35k . look at your budget first

>> Cabinet choice depends on you, Both Corsair 400r and Nzxt phantom are very good case.

>> Regarding gpu,its depends on you on what settings you wanna play,R9 280x can max 99 % of games easily at FHD,while R9 290 will last longer though R9 290 + i7k will be out of the budget

OK will see what about the other doubts and sry for that mistake.

he has 120k and hence it is perfectly possible.

Regarding your query on monitor , I just bought BenQ XL2411T last week for around 21k as some Dec discount was going on. Its a 120hz panel but also runs at 144hz confirmed. So basically its newer xl2420T with 144hz panel minus the S-switch and buttons with proximity sensors and display port as its cheaper than xl2420T . I anyway didn't want the S switch or the proximity sensors. Not of actual use imo

Good rig,but You missed cooler,it will be close to 127k + 2240l seems unfair to me for 120k rig

Let see what op decide.

if he can fetch 130k,then he would get beast rig

I asked for prices locally i get all these for around 115000 , And now for the cooler and Headphone none of your build contains either of these if i've not mistaken, so now i already have an old pc which i didn't want to mention as it was outdated. So i think i can save Rs.4500 from the keyboard and mouse and use my old ones currently so i'll get a headphone and at least a few coolers so after two or three months later ill get those keyboard , mouse + additional coolers. Is it ok?

For overclocking the processor and R9 290 is a 650W Psu enough or should i go to higher one?

Get atleast 750w either Seasonic M12ii 750w or Corsair Tx750v2

Ok and your suggestion for my headphone + cooling solution for 10k?

G.Ashwinkumar said:
Ok and your suggestion for my headphone + cooling solution for 10k?

For Mild overclocking -CM hyper Evo 212 @ 3k is enough, otherwise you can consider Deepcool Assassin @ 5.8k

, Though haswell won't OC to high extent,mostly you able to push it to 4.3ghz on air

Don't know about headphone.

Check out Corsair Vengeance 1500 headphones.

i suggest water cooling as hyper 212 evo may no cut haswell. get corsair h80i if you have the sufficient budget.

also add some case fans in your purchase list

Guys I suddenly had a thought How much ever I spend it is gonna be outdated in a few years. So can I buy a GeForce 770 instead of R9 290? In a local shop I can get it for 28k so what's your stand guys?

Gtx 770 not worth at all-it is slight faster than R9 280x . get either 280x or 290 your choice

Here are benches which will help you

Hi...I want to make a custom gaming PC under or ~ 1Lk.

Requirements:-
1) Only gaming and nothing
1) Want to play on FHD 1980*1080 res. (can be higher but no less than this)
2) Should be future proof for atleast 3 yrs

Queries:-
1) Kindly suggest what compatible PSU, Processor, Motherboard, RAM (8GB), Monitor, Case, HDD (1TB), GPU (for FHD gaming)
should i go with (In terms of manufacturer and model and price)??
2) I figured out Nvidia 780 Ti, is it a good option? or should i go with or any other equivalent GPU.

P.S. For all components please suggest value for money parts as my requirement is only gaming and will not do any other graphical intensity work.
